Wow girl!!! AWESOME pad!! Having had a washer and dryer for the past four or five years, I have solemnly sworn to never live without them again. Spoiled for life. So I can totally sympathize with you not having had them and celebrate with you in acquiring them again!! YAY!!!! Sweet kitchen too. :) Love the stainless steel and the island. Whew. You are gonna be SO spoiled!! lol
